  • I drove 500 miles around the Oklahoma Panhandle from Woodward to Black Mesa, stopping at near ghost towns, exploring sand dunes, and visiting the vibrant immigrant town of Guymon. The Panhandle is a place of stark beauty and photogenic towns with a wild and fascinating history. In this video, I share my journey through No Man's Land.

    Entertaining, educational, excellent editing and voice over. If this guy can make empty Oklahoma towns look interesting. . . .He's got talent.

    Some years ago we drove across the panhandle from Dumas to Colorado. I was amazed. I need to go back with a tent and some fishing gear.

    Nice job on the video! 64 hiway is my favorite way to go west, not crowded but the people you do see wave. It takes a hardy soul to live in an area like the pan handle, God bless the people who do.

      Highway 64 is nice. There aren't as many trucks as the main road. You are right - it takes a hardy soul to live there!

    Curious what drone you were using. Have been in that area several times. The bombing of Boise City was alway interesting

      I use a DJI mini2. I got it at Costco for cheap but it takes great video and is easy to fly. I had never heard of the Bombing of Boise City - Thanks for sharing.

      OK, but is that along the line of the English word "boy" or a quasi-French-like "bwah"?

      Yup there's no boys-E like Boise, Idaho, it's just pronounces boys(boise) city

      NOT,….
      BOISE, sounds like choice, at least 105 years ago when my great uncle Jim showed up, couple years later, showed up dead, robbed and tied to his horse, which returned to the dugout,

    Interesting video, so you toured the Midwest and looked for everything negative you could find... You're quite a guy.

    • @planetbell1
      @planetbell1  Před 7 měsíci

      What is negative about the video? And the Panhandle is not the Midwest :)

    Oklahoma is not the wild west.

      Have you been to the Panhandle?

      WESTERN Oklahoma IS the wild west 110%, eastern Oklahoma is the south. There’s a big difference between the two.
